Smile of a Child

Smile of a child
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
So innocent; so fragile
So gullible; but who can blame them
Powerless; no sense of direction 
But filled with a seed of greatness

The smile of a child 
So comforting; so fulfilling 
Filled with strength
Fuelled with hope 

No trace of darkness 
It consumes every piece of it
It wins many hearts 
And conquers many minds

All they need is love 
All they need is warmth
A home and a sense of belonging 
Then you experience the wonder of every smile
                                                                                                1 November 2012

Beautiful Soul

Beautiful soul
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

In your heart there is a river
That flows so calm and still
In your eyes there I see a light 
That shines like the sun

Beautiful soul beautiful soul
Wonderful light within thy eyes

I feel my heart raising as I gaze upon your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes filled with light 
Leads the way to your soul

Till the End

Till the end

Further and further i will walk; till the end 
Higher and higher i will climb; till the end
In the absence of meaning i will walk; till the end
I will climb with my faith in my grasp; till the end 

An endless journey i have undertaken 
With the thought of eternity in mind 
My eyes set on the image of glory
In complete chaos with peace within

Patriotism

Patriotism
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

As the rays of the sun fades away
A new form of reality comes of age 
Sparkles of light come alive 	
And fill my bedroom window
It reflects the reality I face everyday
But amazingly I do not face it alone

On every street corner
And every bus stop
We share the same feeling
One word describes it, “Patriotism” 
A sense of loyalty and pride
Pride in a beautiful, peaceful country

Namibia a flower along the streams
Filled with living water
Protected by a powerful Immortal King
A beautiful landscape 
A place where the desert meets the sea
My country, Our country, Namibia                                                   8 May 2012

I Call You Friend

I call you friend
By Herold Osmond Owoseb

I have walked for miles
I have seen the tiles
And felt the colours of the rainbow
I have seen your smile
For more than a while.
Have watched you grow and thrive;
Into the talented young woman you are today.
What else have I to say,
Other than that you have inspired me, 
To be the bests me I could ever be.
Moments have come and gone
And I wish for that special smile to brighten my day
I have a friend I can call a friend,
Even when life brings the distance. 
May you continue to blossom 
And ignite like a torch of hope for many to see

Under the Camelthorn Tree

Under the Camelthorn tree 
By Herold Osmond Owoseb

Beneath the tree, lies thy heart
Beneath the tree lies the truth
Where strangers came to lay their head
Where creatures came to escape the heat
Beneath the tree, lies the key
The key that holds the peace
A peace that shows that we are free

Prisoner

Prisoner
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB
I dare not say that I am innocent for I am not 
I have committed a crime
But my delinquency is contrary to felony
I have committed a crime of goodwill  

My transgression may not require the compensation of a custodial sentence 
But I deem it necessary to be jailed 
Furthermore, I implore thee to let me hang by the tree
For I find no a reason to walk any longer 

For too long I have carried the burden
Too long I have held on to this love
I have loved uncontrollably
My whole heart I have given unto thee

Though I am dubious of thy thoughts
I ponder on what to do
Locking the door is painful
But no longer can I wait, for a shooting star on a cloud-covered sky

                                                                                                     29 November 2011

Bended

Bended
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

Bended, can’t be mended 
Left in the cold, feeling stranded
Selfless, in need of connection
Fighting a battle with no hope or affection 

                                                                                                             1 November 2013

I Will Carry You

I will carry you
BY HEROLD OSMOND OWOSEB

In expectation
Ready to receive
In expectation
Waiting for rain

The clouds gather
Progress a process
Waiting on the first drops
Can feel it in the breeze

Like silver and gold 
I will treasure you
Through rivers and jungles
I will carry you

In the dark I will search
During the sunlight, I will pursue you
The day will come; I will find you
There is sign of rain 

                                                                                                                19 January 2013
